Strain rate effect on flow stress and anisotropic behavior of DP600, TRIP780 and AA5182-O sheet metal alloys are presented.
DP600 and TRIP780 showed moderate rate sensitivity while AA5182-O showed relatively low or even negative rate sensitivity.
Portevin–Le Châtelier (PLC) effect was observed in AA5182-O up to a strain rate of 1 s−1.
The Lankford coefficients were found to be relatively insensitive to strain rate for all three alloys.
The Voce-Modified (VM) and Voce-Modified-Extrapolated (VME) models were utilized to capture the behavior of the materials.
